Chapter 13

When Brock and I walked to school the next morning, I felt better than I had in a long time. Running through the woods in wolf form turned out to be better therapy than I could have imagined. I still kicked myself for breaking free, wondering what would have happened if the pack had caught up to us, but I didn’t regret feeling as though a load had been lifted off my shoulders, if only for a short time.

“Enjoy your, uh, werewolf time?” Brock asked with a puzzled smile.

“Yeah, actually,” I admitted. I decided not to tell him about Mouse. Mouse must have had his own reasons to keep it from his friend if he had made it this far without Brock finding out.

“You definitely seem like you’re in a better mood.”

I laughed. “I’m that bad, huh?”

He grinned and ran a hand through his spiky brown hair without saying anything.

“No answer, huh? That must be pretty bad.” I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye. “Why do you hang out with me?”

This time, he was the one to laugh. “Actually, considering the fact that you are a werewolf, you’re pretty mild tempered.” At my questioning look, he rushed on, “From what I’ve read, werewolves are moody even in their human form. Something about the instincts and territorial aggression, I don’t know.” Then he looked at me and his voice became serious. “You saved my life, Jaze. You didn’t even know me. You could have let them tear me apart.”

I tried to push down the mild hurt I felt and had to acknowledge the werewolf moodiness. “So that’s the reason you’re still around; you feel you owe me something for saving you?” I joked half-heartedly.

He shrugged, then shook his head. “Well, no. You’re different than anyone I know. You’re. . .” he searched for the word, hesitated, then said it quickly. “Loyal.”

I snorted, but realized the truth. In the transition between losing my father, moving to a new territory filled with hostile werewolves, and trying to find my own place in the world, Brock had become part of my own tiny pack I had created to hold my sanity together. I glanced at him, wondering if he suspected it, and realized he probably did. I frowned and tried to form words out of my thoughts, but he held up a hand.

“I’m honored, you know? It’s weird, all of this, but I’m glad to be here.” He slapped me on the shoulder and laughed. “Besides, it’s gotten me closer to Nikki, which has also gotten me closer to her hot girlfriends.”

I laughed and punched him lightly in the shoulder. “Always after the girls, aren’t you?”

He shrugged. “What else is there?”
